ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH

Charles Conquest Dies Suddenly From Heart Failure.

Charles CONQUEST, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. CONQUEST, living north of the fair grounds, died suddenly Monday morning from heart failure. He had been sick for several weeks with fever but not seriously so, and was able to be around the house all during the time. Monday morning he was feeling better and came out to breakfast. He was left alone a short time, and when his mother re-entered the room, he was dying - breathing his last in a few minutes. He was nearly 21 years of age, and a young man of much promise.

The remains were taken for burial to Davis City on Tuesday, the family having been former residents of Decatur county. He leaves a father [John W. CONQUEST], mother [Elsie E. CONQUEST], brothers and sisters to mourn his untimely death. In their affliction they have the sincere sympathy of many friends.

NOTE: Charles CONQUEST was interred at Bethel Cemetery, Eden Township, Decatur County, Iowa.
